Embracement
You've been hiding
May you please explain?
Those words you once spoke,
Can't all be in vain.
You've been crying
I'd like to know why.
Was it the pain you felt?
Should I even try?
Was it me?
Did I hurt you?
I'm sorry,
If the words I speak aren't sincere,
But they utter the truth.
Maybe it's me who should be hiding,
Instead I confronted it.
Maybe it should be me crying,
Instead I embraced it.
You coward.

Hello! My name is Vanessa, I am an 18 year old high school senior from Austin, TX. I am about to graduate from Manor New Technology High School and then go to college as a bio major at Texas A&M at College station. I have been writing poetry since middle school as a way to let out emotion and express myself. My sophomore year of high school is when I really discovered myself as a writer when I got put into a Creative Writing class with an amazing teacher and mentor, Richard Santos. This class was the greatest thing to ever happen to me, I grew as a writer and opened up more as a person. Before that class I was just a shy high schooler with little friends, I was pushed to open up and be more creative by not only the classmates (all upperclassmen) but the teacher as well. My writing really grew a lot. What I have submitted is a small collection of poetry that I am really proud of and hope you enjoy!
